Community-Based Correction Program
The sentencing systems and incarceration programs that are established have four traditional, primary goals: incapacitation, punishment, deterrence and rehabilitation (Wright, 2010, p. 3). In devising this proposed sentencing plan for community-based corrections work, I took the following into consideration:
In what may seem an ironic statement, time is of the essence with incarcerated individuals.

Research has shown that this is particularly true of low-risk offenders, as those "spent less time in prison were 4% less likely to recidivate than low-risk offenders who served longer sentences" (Wright, 2010, p. 8). Moreover, According to current research on incarceration, taking a hardline approach to punishment does not have the impact on crime rates intended by policymakers. To wit: "Research to date generally indicates that increases in the certainty of punishment, as opposed to the severity of punishment, are...
In fact, the first few days following release are pivotal to the future success of ex-offenders. Accordingly, the program must enable the offenders to achieve marketable, transportable skills for which they can establish connections that will enable a seamless reentry and that will produce immediate livelihood.
The proposed program will be based on organic food production and distribution. The organic food market is fast growing and, in conjunction with the slow food movement, is helping to change the way people eat. While incarcerated, inmates can learn about traditional and alternative ways of growing organic foods. Indeed, the grounds of many correctional institutions may already have "hot" houses for gardening and…

She denotes that though she is not entirely certain that she believes the superstition applies in practical reality, she tends to communicate her feelings to her plants on a regular basis now. She feels a greater emotional connection to them now as she strives to keep her
Similarly, the niche audience will consist of members who typically eat at home, rather than those whose busy lifestyle leads more toward eating out. Thus, the niche audience for this message consists of financially comfortable people who do a household's shopping, are moderately concerned with their health, and who already enjoy buying and eating fresh produce at home. Because this lifestyle message is targeting those who are at least moderately

But this quotation shows how efficacious Tom and the influence of the life of farming are to even a female raised on it. The primary female character who is actually able to separate herself from the life of the Marsh is Ursula.

We therefore envision the Holy Cross Literacy Garden as an immensely beneficial social and educational community resource that will benefit not only our parish but the entire community. However, planning, developing, constructing, planting, and maintaining a literacy garden will require hard work, dedication, and funding. We currently seek community volunteers as well as grant money to help us complete the literacy garden. We expect a large turnout of volunteer manpower
Elisa Allen is the protagonist of John Steinbeck's short story “The Chrysanthemums,” and Louise Mallard is the protagonist of Kate Chopin's “The Story of An Hour.” Both Elisa and Louise are products of their social and historical contexts, particularly when it comes to gender norms. Elisa and Louise are passive protagonists, because patriarchy has stripped them of political agency. By creating passive protagonists in their respective short stories, Steinbeck and
